Seller's Description

Sony DD Quartz Walkman – Vintage – defekt / für Bastler & Sammler

Zum Verkauf steht ein originaler Sony DD Quartz Walkman mit Dolby B NR und AVLS, inklusive der abgebildeten Kopfhörer.

Der Walkman hat bis vor kurzem noch funktioniert. Nun scheint es ein Problem mit der Stromversorgung bzw. Batterieerkennung zu geben: Es wird ständig angezeigt, dass die Batterie leer ist, auch wenn eine neue Batterie eingelegt wird. Daher wird das Gerät aktuell als defekt / Bastlergerät verkauft.

Optisch befindet sich der Walkman in einem schönen gebrauchten Zustand mit altersbedingten Gebrauchsspuren (siehe Fotos).

Lieferumfang:

* Sony DD Quartz Walkman
* die abgebildeten Kopfhörer

Ein schönes Stück für Sammler und Liebhaber von Vintage-Audio oder zur Reparatur bzw. Restaurierung.

⚠️ Bitte beachten: Verkauf als defekt. Keine Funktionsgarantie.

Privatverkauf unter Ausschluss der Sachmängelhaftung.

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

A broken DD-series Walkman is always interesting because the good ones are genuinely collectible, and even parts units can make sense if the price is right. At €99, this sits just above the €75 lower quartile and a bit under the €121 median, so it reads as fair-to-reasonable rather than a steal.

The upside here is the platform: Sony’s direct-drive Walkmans are prized for build quality, compactness, and that very specific enthusiast appeal, so there’s real value if you’re restoring one or harvesting parts. Since it’s sold as defective and for collectors/tinkerers, the key is whether the shell is complete, the head/transport area is intact, and any battery door, screws, or belt-cover pieces are present; if those basics check out, €99 is a sensible buy.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Sony

Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.

Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.

Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
